A motorist and his passenger were killed Monday morning in south Lafourche when he pulled into the path of an oncoming truck, State Police said.

Steven Bourg, 71, of Larose and his passenger, Patricia Farmer, 63, of Galliano were killed about 6 a.m. when Bourg ran a stop sign at West 15th Street and La. 3235 and pulled into the path of an oncoming truck, State Police Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said.

The northbound 1992 Chevrolet Silverado hit Bourg’s 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier in the passenger door, police said. Ivy Terrebonne Jr., 35, of Cut Off, driver of the Silverado, was taken to Our Lady of the Sea Hospital with injuries that police describe as minor. He was wearing a seat belt.

Bourg and Farmer were pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

Alcohol use is not suspected, but state-mandated blood-alcohol tests are pending.
